Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 18 2011,05:02)Are men, angels, and even Satan the “exact representation of Gods being”?I would have to say no they are not exact representations. There is no scripture that says any man for example is the exact representation of God.Men can only reflect in part, that is what I think. Whereas Jesus Christ represents…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 18 2011,05:02)Are men, angels, and even Satan “qualitatively” equal to God in nature?Depends on the context or situation WJ.Theos is not always applied to someone because of nature. It could also be authority from what I can tell.Those who held the seat of Moses for example had that authority, I am not sure that this…[Read more]

Quote (Kangaroo Jack Jr. @ Mar. 18 2011,06:55)The translation of the second 'theos' as 'a god' is NOT a possibility. I am convinced that the second “theos” is DEFINITE and not qualitaitive. The Logos is “the God” in His IDENTITY in the sense that Eve is “the Adam” in her IDENTITY.If you believe that, then you are saying that to the detriment of…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 18 2011,05:14)t8Ha ha. You have your own creeds written on this sight. A creed is “a system of religious belief; a faith: people of many creeds and cultures”.Your system of beliefs is right out of the JWs textbook who is the modern day church to the Arians.  You also have creeds t8 for I have yet to see you change…[Read more]

Oh yeah KJ, I should give up.That is funny. Really it is.Just apply advice that you should take and pass it onto others instead.

In the beginning was the big bang and the big bang was with gravity and the big bang was gravity.Does that sum it up Stu?

Yes lets measure something eternal with a finite instrument.

Quote (kerwin @ Mar. 16 2011,18:49)Wispring,Inserting consciousness/operating mind in place of soul(s) does not fit the whole context of scripture as it is the whole being that is being saved and not just part.  Try “essential self” insteadWhat about the body?Does it not return to dust and do we not receive a spiritual body? Or is the spiritual…[Read more]

KJ, at this stage do I even need to demonstrate how this concept is wrong using other verses?I mean if you have no come back on my first point, then the debate is surely over.Do you have a come back? If so, I am happy to wait for it.

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,08:55)Wasn't Jesus “divine” when he walked in this earth in the flesh?Don't know.Somethings to consider.We can NOW partake of divine nature, so I would imagine that he at least partook of divine nature, while sharing in human nature.But just as we can partake in that nature, one day we will have a spiritual…[Read more]

I said that he has or partakes of divine nature. Read that sentence carefully.We know that Jesus existed with divine nature and partook of human nature (flesh and blood) and returned to the glory he had before.I guess you could ask yourself WJ if you are a partaker of human nature. Whatever your understanding of this is, could well be the answer…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,04:20)t8And you can't dispute the point that The Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are qualitatively in nature, equally “God”. WJYes God and Jesus can be called theos/elohim qualitatively as can man, angel, even Satan.Your point?

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,05:15)The point of contention was you putting Jesus in the same context of other “sons of God” which you also claim can be angels in an effort to detract away from the fact that Jesus is “The Only Begotten (Monogenes) Son of God” and according to the scriptures that means he is the “Only” Son that is the…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 17 2011,05:15)Is Jesus being exactly like the Fathers being? Yes or NoYes. He is LIKE his Father an exact representation of him.NOTE: Some important differences from scripture below:God is invisible.Jesus is visible.God is an eternal spirit.Jesus has a body. Also, because Jesus represents God and is the image of that…[Read more]

Quote (WorshippingJesus @ Mar. 16 2011,04:14)Whose “Divine” nature are we being changed into? God or Jesus?It should be the same divine nature.When Eve was created from Adam, she shared his nature, the same nature called human nature.I would imagine that it wouldn't be too different in this case.But just as Eve was created by God but through Adam,…[Read more]
